Prospects Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABA ABA ABA ABA ABA ABAA| We have set out from here for the sublime | A |
| Pastures of summer shade and mountain stream | B |
| I have no doubt we shall arrive on time | A |
| - | |
| Is all the green of that enameled prime | A |
| A snapshot recollection or a dream | B |
| We have set out from here for the sublime | A |
| - | |
| Without provisions without one thin dime | A |
| And yet for all our clumsiness I deem | B |
| It certain that we shall arrive on time | A |
| - | |
| No guidebook tells you if you'll have to climb | A |
| Or swim However foolish we may seem | B |
| We have set out from here for the sublime | A |
| - | |
| And must get past the scene of an old crime | A |
| Before we falter and run out of steam | B |
| Riddled by doubt that we'll arrive on time | A |
| - | |
| Yet even in winter a pale paradigm | A |
| Of birdsong utters its obsessive theme | B |
| We have set out from here for the sublime | A |
| I have no doubt we shall arrive on time | A |
